Smart Hyde Park View

I stayed there one week ago. It's nice and close to Hyde Park (100 yards away), and fairly near Queensway, so it's by plenty of restaurants, but over all the living conditions were just the deciding factor. It has the smallest 6-person rooms I have ever seen. I could barely move once I was standing inside of one. Lockers are jammed up between beds. Much of the place is old and antiquated, and they closed up a very poor breakfast 15 minutes earlier than advertised. The only real pluses are the small bar/lounge at the entrance and the location. Oh, and there is only one Internet station that was always busy. And, it seemed that there were people who must have been living there, extended stays. And a much older crew, lots of people 35, 40-plus. Not a real fun place.

I stayed in a six-bed room. There were big lockers in the room. The room is too small for six people plus a bathroom. One bathroom for six people is not convenient. In the morning you have to wait. At least it was clean. There was a lousy breakfast on carton dishes with plastic spoons and knives – no thoughts about the environment -ugh!! This hostel has a friendly staff, and it's in a good and quiet location near a tube station.
